Water in the foot wells is usually a sign the heater matrix has split.
It can be a pain to do, but not too bad in the the 2+2 compared to the
Xtreme. Before changing the matrix I would check that the foot wells
are getting damp from coolant.
The plastic clips on the bottom cover that need to be released before
you can get to the matrix will snap - Ford found this out and have metal
clips that will hold the lower cover in place. A quick Google search
hasn't provided a part number, but I do have some in the garage,
complete with Ford packet, so I should be able to find this, if required.
Check all hoses are still tight as it may not be the matrix and simply a
slightly loose hose.
Regards,
Steve

The test drive when the temp guage reading wasnt too hot and stayed there
consistently, the ambient air temp was around 16 degrees.
Next drive the air temp was at least 5 degrees hotter. The stability didn't
stay for long and the guage started to kreep up to the red...
Then my son noticed water dripped in the passenger foot well. Not much, then I
noticed the temp recovered to the previous level.
Are zetecs prone to airlocks, I noticed I had to top up a litre of coolant?
I recognise I need to change the stat but that will be major as not one bolt
will undo normally I'll try freezing the bolts to see if that will help free
the bolts.
Cheers
